Looking for some help concerning a four string.

Yesterday I was looking at the basses just blowin time waiting to speak with one of the associates. One bass in particular caught my eye. It was understated yet demanded my attention. It wasn't long till Ihad it in my grip, plugged it in ,powered up, and was having a good old time playing her,she sounded as wll as she looked. It was a ESP LTD b-500. I am hoping some of you may have had some experience with this bass acould shine a little light on her. It is a used bass, and my research has turned up little about her. maybe I'm looking in the wrong places. Any information is welcomed. Thanks in advance
 
Took the plunge and bought the LTD B-500. What a sweet sound. Fits me like a (well fitting) glove. I don't Know why there is so little research material on Her? So far no surprises. I guess time will tell. For now I'm satisfied as I get acquainted with my new friend.

Thanks JACink. I was hoping to get some info. that may have dissuaded me from making the purchase. I'm surprised that the b-500 is to say the least lacking in popularity. Not a problem though as I'm not drawn in general to that which is popular. I checked out the b205, one can only hope that it sounds as beautiful as it looks. Good luck with your 5-string, and thanks for your reply. For awhile there I was questioning my existence lol.
 
Thanks @dbbltime.

Don't worry, you buy basses, so therefore you exist :)

It's just the way the forum is at times, you can post a sincere question, and get no replies, or ask what color a certain bass players shoe laces are and get 50 pages of answers.

Enjoy your new bass!
